New York: Guyanese cuisine. Hi everyone! I am so New York: Guyanese cuisine. 

Hi everyone! I am so excited to share this article with you. A couple of months ago I was asked to pitch Guyanese cuisine to represent New York on this list. There are endless possible options of cuisines to represent New York, a food capital of the world. I had hope, but didn't think they would choose Guyana for this placement. The Condé Nast editors loved my pitch and decided to go with it! They asked me to write the piece so that it would be as honest and representative of Guyanese cuisine in NYC as possible. The editors were interested and curious and wanted to understand every dish/ingredient I listed, down to cassava casareep. 

In a time where we see very little representation for ethnic cuisines, I am very thankful for the opportunity to use my voice to represent my culture in this way.

Fry balanjay with potatoes and fine shrimp Cooked Fry balanjay with potatoes and fine shrimp  Cooked up some balanjay from the garden and bought naan from a nearby Indian restaurant. An easy 30-min meal (when you buy half the meal 😆). What's on your plate tonight? #alicaspepperpot

Home What foods make you feel like home? Although Home  What foods make you feel like home? Although my parents and I live in separate homes, when I go to their place  the aroma of curry cooking or geera and garlic frying breeds familiarity. I've learned so much about their lives through knowing the foods they ate and how they were prepared. These conversations are never formal either. While chopping onions, my father would drop snippets of how a dish was cooked back home. Listening with intention has allowed me to learn about the foods of my culture in a unique way. I think these days anyone can create a recipe, but it's the stories in the process that really give context to a dish.

I've been on a social media break these last few weeks taking some time to focus on my family and self-care. Reflecting, learning, and planning. During my time away I've also been updating old recipes with new photos and revised measurements. Will be sharing in the coming weeks.

So many of us are waking up each day with a heavy So many of us are waking up each day with a heavy heart, myself included. While I can't truly understand what the black community is feeling, I stand with them in the fight for racial equality. I am married to a black man and I have two bi-racial children. This is my fight too. 
I've added a link below for various places to donate, if you are able to help monetarily. Access it through my profile page. Whether you can afford to donate or not, one important way you can help is by having conversations with friends and family members when they make racist comments. Our very own family members say inappropriate things and we just sweep it under the rug. Taking a stand starts at home. *

Fevergrass ☕ | My parents have a giant tulsi pla Fevergrass ☕ | My parents have a giant tulsi plant in their garden. As well as an endless amount of fevergrass (aka lemongrass). These two herbs have tremendous health benefits. Whenever someone was sick in our house with any type of ailment this was the tea we made. Check my stories to see how easy it is to brew. I also added lemon peel, fresh ginger, cloves, and cinnamon. It is one of the most fragrant and healing teas you could make. When I was younger I used to think this was stuff only ole people drank. Now look at me lol. Straight aunty vibes!

My parents recall memories of growing up in Guyana and getting an allotment of dhal and 捷报比分网即时比分 for the month. When they ran out, they had to find other things to cook that would make a complete meal, all while using very few ingredients. Dishes like khichri, oil & 捷报比分网即时比分, and shine 捷报比分网即时比分 come to mind. What about you?

Although I was not born in Guyana and did not have the same experiences, I'm thankful my parents made these dishes a regular part of our menu. It's helped me connect to my culture in a very unique way.
